Time is almost up and it has been record breaking. The last record just went down on
Kickstarter. The Veronica Mars
movie is in the home stretch and is hours from ending. The only record that this campaign
hadn’t topped was the most backers ever.
They targeted that record including an option to just donate a $1 if you
wanted to. The record was topped
which was 87,142. As I write this,
the Veronica Mars movie has 87,439.
The grand total with 7 hours to go is $5.5 million. Just incredible! Rob Thomas is going crazy today just
watching all of this go down.
Kristen Bell put out a video this morning for a rallying cry to get
these records done and it has happened.
Pledges have been coming in from all over the world with all sorts of different
amounts. I will put some totals in
to just show you these amazing numbers when the numbers are final. This week, the t-shirts were shown on
what they would like. I definitely
have my pick on which one I like of the two. They are also going to give out a sticker sheet to everyone
who pledges over $10 which you can use to show that you supported the
cause. I love the stickers. This Kickstarter campaign has changed
the game and the funding is there for an even bigger movie than they
anticipated. Check out the campaign at this link: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/559914737/the-veronica-mars-movie-project

Here is the video by
Kristen this morning if you want to check it out.

Deal making, returning houseguests, anger, and
backing out on deals were all a part of this week’s Big Brother Canada. When we left off last week, the
endurance competition was underway.
It came down to two people.
Jillian and Topaz. The talk
turned to maybe just make a deal of safety for each other. Also for their others. The two are left alone to discuss. Topaz gets the word of safety for
herself and for Alec. So, Topaz
bails out and Jillian wins HOH.
That deal didn’t hold long though when she started working on her
options for nominations. However,
Alec didn’t help himself either by his conversation in the HOH room with
Jillian where he basically threatened to go after her next week. Not the best move on his part. So, Jillian goes back on the deal and
puts Alec on the block against Peter.
Peter is basically the pawn as her real target is Alec. Of course, this does not go over well
with Topaz. We get to the veto
competition. Everyone is picked to
play except for Emmett as he is the odd one out. This was where Alec made his second big mistake of the
week. He was breezing through the
veto competition which was building a bridge with planks of wood with house
events on them. You had to put
them in order in the quickest time.
Alec was breezing through it and was one switch away from winning. He stops and starts to think about it
deciding that he thinks he should give up on the challenge for strategy. He says that he is quitting. This is in front of everyone too by the
way. He had several minutes left
and was on his way to victory. He
said in his DR interview that this will be either a great move or a terrible
move. I thought it looked really
bad especially to just openly say that you are quitting in front of everyone. Especially when you are on the
block. Peter wins the veto. Things get crazier with the deal making
when Jillian tells Topaz that she is her only option of who to put on the
block. Wow!!! Not only did she backtrack on the deal
halfway but now she went full out and turned on the deal completely. Bold, bold move. Topaz is of course
furious over this and she is put on the block after Peter vetoes himself. Alec against Topaz. That brings us to last night’s double
eviction episode. Alec was voted
out with the only vote to keep him being Peter. The double eviction was sprung on the house and we got right
into the competitions. Emmett won
HOH in a tie breaker against Andrew.
He put up Topaz and Talla for eviction. Peter won the veto and did not use it. No reason to as that would mess up his
game at this point. 3-0 vote to
evict Topaz. The HOH competition
was underway as we went off the air.
When I saw the egg comp, my first thought was poor Britney. Remember when she had such trouble with
that comp a few years ago? We got
another twist as fans will be able to vote a jury member back into the
house. So, either AJ, Gary, Alec,
or Topaz are coming back into the house.
If I had to guess, I would say that I bet Canada votes Gary back into
the house.

Other happenings in the house had the return of the moose. Not the original though. This was a dark talking moose. I love Marcia the moose by the
way. I just find it hilarious. The dark moose had a secret challenge
for Peter. He had to fool the
house into thinking that a houseguest was returning. He scrambled around the house placing items of Tom’s around
including replacing Tom’s black and whited out picture with his color one which
of course symbolizes someone is still in the game. Peter added a chair to the table and put his teddy bear in
Jillian’s HOH room. The picture
was what got noticed first by Talla and Topaz and they lost their minds. They screamed all through the house
that Tom was coming back. The
house went into paranoia mode the rest of the night. It was great TV to watch especially with Peter just watching
all this go down. I am wondering
if Andrew slept at all. LOL. Nicely played by Big Brother as they
helped with the items and also put the cameras in the HOH room down on to the
bed where the bear was hidden.
Jillian caught it immediately saying “why are the cameras pointed in the
same direction”. She knew
something was up and found the bear.
She was then convinced that it was a hunt of sorts where you had to find
the most of Tom’s items for a game win.
Pretty funny. Peter’s task was complete as he convinced the whole house
that a houseguest was returning and they got a reward of five food items. So, Talla. LOL. I crack up
at her cause she has such a big personality. Constantly losing her mind and getting furious at her
struggles in competitions. The
house gets a laugh out of it too.
Then, she is constantly screaming such as in the HOH comp and just at
being scared of anything unexpected.
I laughed during the endurance comp that it would be hard to compete
next to her trying to concentrate but also having her screaming in your ear all
the time.

Big Brother Line Of The Week: “Peter, I’ve known you for a long while
now and in that time I’ve learned that you like wrestling, chicken nuggets, and
I’ve also learned that that is a cursed veto necklace. Don’t use the cursed veto on
yourself. Use it on me. I’ll bare the curse. You’ll be safe.” - Alec’s speech to
Peter during the veto ceremony.

Another homecoming on American Idol this week. The original American Idol, Kelly Clarkson made her return
back home where it all started.
Much like Carrie recently, they did a great video looking back on her
time on Idol and her career since then.
Kelly performed her new song, “People Like Us” and it was a fun
atmosphere with the lights out and the glow sticks in the air. Loved her performance and loved the
song. You can check out Kelly
Clarkson on Idol here.

The
ACM Awards were this past Sunday night.
Entertainer of the Year went to Luke Bryan. That was a shocker for everyone and a big congrats to
him. He was so excited. I do have to rant for a moment. Seriously, what does it take for Carrie
Underwood to get nominated for Entertainer of the Year? She is performing almost every night
all over the world and on TV. She
is selling out her tour and it has been a huge hit. Just insulting to not see her get nominated. Anyway, back to the results. LOL. Male Vocalist of the Year was Jason Aldean. Female Vocalist of the Year went to
Miranda Lambert. Vocal Duo of the
Year: Thompson Square. Vocal Group
of the Year; Little Big Town. New
Artist of the Year: Florida Georgia Line. Album of the Year: Eric Church -
Chief. Single Record of the Year: Miranda Lambert - Over You. Song of the Year:
Miranda Lambert - Over You.
Songwriter of the Year: Dallas Davidson. Video of the Year: Little Big
Town - Tornado (this is a really cool video by the way). Vocal Event of the Year: The Only Way I
Know - Jason Aldean with Luke Bryan and Eric Church.

Superpass
and Big Brother have parted ways.
Superpass sent out a statement last week announcing that they will not
be the home of the Big Brother live feeds this summer and thanking all the fans
for the support over their years of hosting the feeds. Instead CBS.com will be hosting the
live feeds. Well, that is very
interesting. I am not sure what to
make of that. This will lead to a
lot of questions. How will the
feeds be with CBS? Better? Worse? What kind of a fee are we looking at for Big Brother 15 this
summer? What kind of changes are
we looking at? What happens to a
lot of the features that Superpass provided? What gets carried over? Just a ton of questions that we'll have to wait to get
answered. If anything, CBS will
take all heat now for any feed decisions.
I always felt bad for Superpass at times when the feeds would go down
and they would get blamed by fans.
They were just the host and CBS was the ones making the decisions. I did like how Superpass would scramble
to provide some kind of content to watch as we had our feed downtime such as
those full days without feeds. So,
now we wait until CBS announces more.

Has it really been 20 years since Jurassic Park? That is unreal. The movie is set to get a re-release in
3D this weekend in theaters. I
wouldn’t mind watching the original once again but I am not at all into this 3D
phenomenon. It definitely has an
audience of fans that love it but it just isn’t for me. Jurassic Park was a blockbuster for
sure upon its original release. It
was something very different. My
introduction to Jurassic Park was by home video. I bought it upon its release sight unseen and loved it. Me and a friend of mine used it to test
out the surround sound. Jurassic
Park and Twister were the “work out the surround sound” movies that we
used. LOL. The original movie was so successful
that it ended up making two sequels.
I saw the second one but never did watch the third one. The original Jurassic Park was a lot of
fun. It was a thriller for sure
watching these people trying to escape this nightmare and survive from these
dinosaurs. Definitely a favorite
movie of mine. I can’t remember
the last time that I actually watched it so maybe that is something to put on
the to do list in the future.

NBC announced earlier this week that Carson Daly’s show has
been renewed. So, that is one spot
in the NBC late night lineup that will not see any changes.

The Entertainment Wrap Up is something that I've been typing up for about 13 years. I blog about the entertainment world, review TV shows, music, movies, or just whatever is going on. Hope that you enjoy the Wrap Up!!
